I captured this specimen last week in my garden (in the East of France). I am not sure it is a Tanypodinae (it seems to have only 1 tranversal vein), although it shows a lot a hairs on the wings. It is possible to confirm the subfamily and, why not, to have an idea of the genus ? Length : 3 mm kristobal21 attached the following image:  [142.32Kb] Edited by kristobal21 on 21-10-2014 17:26 |

Polypedilum (Pentapedilum) sordens Other densely haired Pentapedilum lack the narrow pale bands on the abdomen. |
